First time out in my 2019 and have a leak 👎

First time out in my Eagle 330RSTS and noticed a puddle on ground under the camper. I crawled under it to see water droplets at a access hole in the under belly. I peeled off a couple piece of the tape and pushed back the underbelly to see the spot it’s dripping from. It’s coming from the top of the black tank somewhere. The tank was 2/3 full so it’s not spilling from top. Any thoughts on what it is. It ruined some of the crappy white insulation under there. I’m still on my trip so I’ll have to tape it back up and attempt to fix when I get home. There’s a 2+ month wait for the dummies at the dealers to attempt to fix

Have you had a chance to check for leaks in the area above the black tank - stool flush valve, sink lines, faucet, backflow preventer, etc.?

Did you check the backflow preventer? It is in the water line for the black tank flush and is very often up very high, under the bathroom sink. It is often the source of leaks, most often it just drips... BUT NOT ALWAYS. The frustrating thing is that it can leak intermittently.

Straw grasping here...
Online they mentioned a water docking station. I'm not familiar with that, but online I see it is not far from the the black tank connection. If your leak drys up and starts again after connecting to the city water/fresh tank fill, there might be a leak there that leaks onto the top of the black tank.


That's all I got...

Leak

The leak could obviously be caused by any number of reasons. It’s a stretch but if it is not the “vacuum breaker” (the access to my VB is through an access panel in the upper kitchen cabinets that back up to the shower). The VB’s have a tendency to leak especially if there is some fine material lodged in the breaker.
You might also want to check all of your winter drain locations, some are located inside the storage basement behind the wall access panels. These draindown locations can drip if not fully closed.
